Our History

1939–1961

It all started in 1939 when great-great uncle Francis Neighly purchased the pest control franchise Extermital Termite Service in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. He started small, servicing one county himself with one employee.

1961–1976

In 1961, grandparents Charles and Tillie Frisky bought the Extermital Termite Service franchise from F. Neighly and served as owners and operators for 15 years. During that time, Charles and Tillie expanded the business to service Westmoreland County and Indiana County and added two additional employees.

1976–2011

Father (in-law) Hugh (Nick) Jr. and Carol Morrison bought Extermital Termite Service franchise from Carol’s family and served as owners and operators for 35 years. Additionally, in 1983, Nick bought out the Extermital Termite Service franchise, incorporated, and changed the business name to D-Bug Inc. During that time, Nick expanded the business to serve and satisfy the pest control needs of customers in 10 counties with 15 knowledgeable employees.
